INCUBATING w/FRIENDS! w/Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs No problem!

[kwhites634]

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And makin' love was just for fun
Those days are gone

Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
But when I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't want to be, all by myself anymore
All by myself
Don't want to live, all by myself anymore

Hard to be sure
Some times I feel so insecure
And love so distant and obscure
Remains the cure

"I don't want to be alone
Help me make it through the night"

I thought that was Jim Dandy!  

OOOOHHHH!  Yeah, I get called a lot of names.  When I first joined BYC, I couldn't figure out why total strangers hated me so much!!!  Easy Bake, Chick Killer, and other bad names too.  I get sworn at a lot also!  Did a bit of moaning and groaning myself last night.  Had an interesting assist:  Pip at 4:30 PM.  Started zipping, then stalled.  I decided to take action at 9 PM.  Glad I did, and should have done so before.  But, I've learned that an assist early = death.  This little chick was dry.  She had completed 1/3 of her zip, and then got stuck.  She had a huge bit of membrane stuck in her beak.  It's a wonder it didn't suffocate her!   I started peeling shell, and had my bowl of water ready for a hot tub assist, but didn't need the water, except for removing a few persistant pieces of membrane.  In retrospect, I should have done my usual hot tub assist.  She got hypothermic.  Right leg was tremoring a good part of the night.  Her left wing is droopy this morning.  She and her older sib have been moved down to MHP.  Older sib attacked the water, as she hatched 36 hours ago!  Time will tell if #2 will need to be culled.  I turned off fans in both bators to help with humidity.  Don't understand why, but had a spike to 104 in the cooler bator, and a drop to 90 in the styro bator.  Not happy about that, and hope I didn't loose any chicks because of it.  Staying home today to keep an eye on things.  4 pips in second batch of shipped eggs, one malposition/wrong end. (their due date was yesterday) (styrobator).  Some internal pips in my eggs that are due today.  (coolerbator)

Good luck!!!

Interesting. Might make them worth keeping, except I can't get over their appearance. A face only Mama could love. Not to mention, the lack of feathers. I can't imagine they'd do well in Maine. But, folks keep them, and say they are hardy. What color egg do they lay? The lack of feathers makes them easier to process, I've heard.

They have almost 20% less fathers.

Good morning Benny, our feed store will have 50 NN chicks on either the 27 or 28 th. I missed them last time. They go fast. Not sure of price but I picked up 10 Dark Cornish there for $2.45 each.

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a little busy. Urgent care for the DH who thought he was a few years (and a few pounds) younger when he jumped of a foundation wall at work. Which meant I had to build my son's swing set by myself, so it might have taken a little longer than normal.
